Imo: Gov Uzodinma seals estate allegedly owned by Okorocha’s wife

Barely 24 hours, after Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodinma, reportedly sacked over a hundred civil servants employed by one of his predecessors, Owelle Rochas Okorocha, the Imo State government has again sealed off an estate located in the state capital, Owerri, allegedly owned by Mrs. Nneoma Nkechi Okorocha.

A statement on Imo state government Twitter page read; “Imo State Government today sealed and recovered sealed the Royal Spring Palm built on one of Imo State green verges against the Lawful master plan of the State. This recovery was done following the directive of the Imo state gazzete…”

According to LegitNg, the directive was given by Governor Hope Uzodinam and executed by the state commissioner for lands survey and physical planning, Barrister Enyinna Onuegbu.

 

The commissioner also confirmed the development via a Facebook post.

 

Onuegbu wrote; “Today, I led a team from the Imo state ministry of lands survey and physical planning, other government officials and the media to the enforcement of the order from the gazetted white paper detailing the reports from the judicial panel of enquiry on land matters within the state.

“On that note, the Royal Spring Palm Estate located at Akachi road was recovered and sealed from private/individual trespassing pending when the state government announces an appropriate usage in the interest of the public.

 

“The judicial panel recommended the recovery of all properties of the state illegally acquired in violation of the state master plan and extant laws.

“This administration is committed towards recovering all state properties in the possession of private individuals or/and group of persons. Imo state belongs to us all and to no individual.”
